From the first time the Keystone XL Pipeline bill was brought to Congress, Democrats have voted against it. Barack Obama has repeatedly stated that he would veto the bill if it made it to his desk. Democrats have consistently used hypothetical environmental disasters to justify their blockage of the bill that would be a huge positive to our nation.

The Keystone XL Pipeline would transport crude oil from the Canadian oil fields to the refineries in Texas. Directly and indirectly, the pipeline project could create between 10,000 to 50,000 jobs and play a huge part in America becoming energy independent. You would think that Democrats, who claim to be the political party of working America, would be more than supportive of the project, but that’s not the case. Support for the pipeline is coming from the Republican Party, which is mistakenly referred to as the party of the wealthy.
